Virus in new update?

[Neko The Liar]

After updating and launching the game anti virus went off saying there was a sus file.
Palworld-Win64-Shipping.exe

It may just be a false positive but best to ask if anyone knows before actually doing anything

[Jim Lahey]

It's a false positive

Yeah, it's not uncommon at all for antivirus to call perfectly legit stuff as suspicious. I don't have it happen often, but it's been more than a couple times.

Are you using Avast ? if so, just disregard it.

Meanwhile, after Elden Ring's pre-DLC patch, EAC is literally shutting off multiplayer to people for not having a particular DLC file in their ER directory XD

I remember there being a false positive for an earlier Palworld patch, though I can't remember off the top of my head what it was. Could well be the same thing rearing its head again, if they broke something that fixed the previous instance with this patch.

Just put it in the white list and there you go

If you're on Windows, don't bother with antivirus. Windows Defender has gotten so much better over the years, additional antivirus software is just going to slow you down.

If you're on windows, your OS technically is malware, and there's only so much you can do to mitigate the security risks that entails...

Dont use anti virus, just use Defender. Anti virus apps like Norton, Avast, Bullguard etc are just useless bloatware that do not do a good enough job to warrant them.

Defender is enough and doesn't have this annoying false positive crap nearly as often.
